ST. PATRICK'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, SCHOOL AND ORPHAN ASYLUM.
LOCATED IN HAPPY VALLEY, SAN FRANCISCO.
Founded on the 9th day of June, 1851, (the festival of Pentecost,) by the permission of the Right Rev. JOSEPH ALIMANY, Bishop of Monterey, by Rev. JOHN MAGINNIS, Curt. of the Diocese of Monterey.
A house was rented on the corner of Third and Jesse streets, in which mass was said on every Sunday for three months, at 10 o'clock, A. M. On the first Sunday of September, 1851, mass was celebrated in the building now occupied and known as St. Patrick's Church.
A school was established at the same time that the Church was opened at the corner of Third and Jessie streets, in the same building, which was also removed to the Church build- ing on the 1st of September. The school opened with only three scholars, the church with sixteen persons ; both church and school are now in a very flourishing condition ; the former is now a very large and respectable congregation, and the latter numbers over two hundred and fifty scholars.
'The site of the present church building is on 100 vara lot No. 23, between Second and 'Third streets, fronting on Market-the most spacions street in the city.
The church and schools are attended by the Sisters of Charity, five in number, under the superintendence of Sister FRANCES ASSISIUM McENNIS, as sister servant. The colony is a branch of the house of St. Joseph, near Emmettsburg, Maryland ; they arrived in San Francisco, in August, 1852. Seven left the mother honse, two died on the Isthmus on their way to this city. Their school for young ladies is one of the most respectable in the State. The Sisters have charge of an Orphan Asylum, attached to the Church. There are at present fifty children in the institution under the kind and maternal care of the Sisters.
The present building is not large enough for the accommodation of the great number that is in attendance-a larger house is about to be erected.
Mass is celebrated on every Sunday, at seven and cleven o'clock, A. M., and on week days at six o'clock, A. M.
The schools are open five days in each week, from 9 o'clock, A. M., to 3 o'clock, P. M. The church and schools are under the special supervision of the Rev. JOHN MAGINNIS, Pastor of the Church.
